From fiscal representation to NHR planning — the legal platform for Americans, Brits and global expats relocating to Portugal. Transparent pricing, a real Lisbon consultancy, zero paper headaches.
Pick your starting point. We handle every step from there — including the parts most providers don't tell you about.
You're buying property, opening a bank account or signing a lease — and you need a Portuguese fiscal representative, fast.
Remote workers, retirees, families — the full visa + relocation journey, with a dedicated consultant assigned to your case.
Golden Visa via qualified funds, D2 + LDA company setup, IFICI tax planning for high-skill professionals.
Establish a Portuguese LDA (Sociedade por Quotas) — even if you're not moving yourself. Incorporation only; ongoing bookkeeping handed off to a partner accountant.
Banks, AT, AIMA correspondence, LDA registered office — any Portuguese mailing need without renting an actual office in Lisbon.
From €15/month + VAT, get a real Lisbon postal address you can use for banks, the AT, AIMA correspondence and as your Portuguese LDA’s registered office. We receive your mail, scan it, notify you by email — and forward worldwide on request.
Most competitors only do one piece — the NIF, or the visa, or the tax. You end up with three providers, three invoices, three logins.
Reside in Portugal is built around your complete path: from initial fiscal compliance to your residency card, your Portuguese company, and your tax-optimized life in Portugal.
Configure your move →Our Lisbon lawyer arranges your fiscal representation and the Portuguese tax number assignment in 3–7 business days. Required before banking and residency steps.
Local IBAN with Novobanco — opened remotely, no flight required.
D7, D8, D2 or Golden Visa — your dedicated consultant prepares the file, books your VFS appointment, files at the consulate.
Our lawyer accompanies you to your AIMA biometrics appointment and registers your NISS social security on arrival.
Activate your 20% flat tax regime for 10 years. We handle the application and the proof of qualifying activity.
After 5 years of legal residency, we file your naturalization process and Portuguese passport.
Mix the services you actually need — NIF, visa, company, tax, family. Bundled services save up to 30%. No "request a quote", no hidden professional fees. Portuguese government fees are itemised separately before you commit.
For founders, freelancers and consultants — we incorporate your LDA (Sociedade por Quotas), register it for NIPC, VAT and social security, and tie it cleanly into your D2 visa or IFICI tax strategy. We handle the incorporation only; ongoing bookkeeping is handed off to a vetted certified accountant.
* The 10-business-day delivery requires the Portuguese government's express incorporation procedure, which carries an urgency fee paid directly to the State (separate from our professional fee). Standard procedure without urgency typically takes 30–45 days.
From name reservation at RNPC to NIPC issuance and signed articles at the notary — fully remote, English contracts, handled end-to-end by our team. Requires the government's express urgency fees, paid separately to the State (see block 05 below).
One-off setup at the time of incorporation — NIPC, VAT and Social Security enrolment with the Portuguese authorities, plus articles of association in English. Ongoing bookkeeping and tax filings are not included.
Your company is structured to qualify for the D2 entrepreneur visa and to feed cleanly into IFICI's 20% flat tax for high-skill activities, with the eligibility opinion included in the incorporation file.
Once incorporated, we connect you to a vetted Portuguese Contabilista Certificado (CC) partner for monthly bookkeeping and tax filings. The accountant invoices you directly — we don't bill or run that ongoing service.
Our professional fee of $690 does not include the Portuguese government's IRN fees. You choose normal or urgent for each step, and we pay the State on your behalf and invoice the exact amount back to you:
Minimum scenario: €295 (both normal — takes ~1 month total). Maximum scenario: €590 (both urgent — done in ~1 week). You pick the speed for each step in the configurator above when you add the company. We then send you a separate Stripe link in EUR for the exact amount, and the receipt from the IRN is attached to your portal.
Portuguese companies receive most government correspondence through a Caixa Postal Digital (CPE) — required for AT, social security, AIMA notices and more. We set yours up and pay it for the first 6 months. After that it auto-renews at $49.99/month. We email you 14 days before the first $49.99 charge, and you can cancel anytime from your portal.
Find out in 30 seconds if your passive income qualifies for Portugal's most popular visa for retirees and remote workers.
The D7 visa requires you to prove regular passive income above the Portuguese minimum wage — plus 50% per spouse and 30% per child.
Our calculator uses the official 2026 minimum-wage threshold (€920/month, effective 1 Jan 2026) and includes your dependents automatically.

Dual-qualified lawyer in Portugal and Brazil, focused on nationality litigation, AIMA proceedings and the ARI residency permit. Author of "Immigrating to Portugal: A Legal Guide for Foreigners" (Amazon, 2025).
Drop by for coffee. Our consultancy works from a physical office on Avenida da Liberdade in the heart of Lisbon.
I tried two other services promising fast turnaround and got nothing for three weeks. Reside in Portugal's lawyer handled my fiscal setup in a week and then walked me through opening a Novobanco account from Austin. The D7 application is now in motion — same lawyer the whole way.
The pricing page is honestly why we picked them. After getting three quotes from law firms with vague hourly rates, seeing a clear flat fee for the full move was a relief. The IFICI registration alone made a meaningful difference in our tax bill this year.
Retiring abroad sounds romantic until you see the AIMA queues. The team handled my biometrics appointment, the Social Security number, and the tax registration. I just had to show up with a passport. 10/10.
